"I would enjoy being with my father and learning small things here and there. As I grew up I became more and more interested in what my father was doing and slowly I joined him."

"Hello my name is Hamza and I come from the beautiful city of Moradabad, in Uttar Pradesh. Moradabad was established in 1625 A.D. by Rustam Khan and is named after prince Murad Baksh, the son of the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan.

"Moradabad is a major industrial city and export hub. Its handcrafts industry accounts for more than 40% of total handicraft exports from India.

"I was born and brought up in this beautiful town, and with Moradabad's handcrafted tradition it's no wonder I grew up amidst the beautiful creations of talented artisans. I've always been fascinated by the rich crafting traditions and the variety there is here. In our city alone there are so many crafts being practiced.

"My father crafted photo frames, t-light holders, trays, bowls and many other home décor items. I used to watch him designing products and training artisans working with him. I would enjoy being with my father and learning small things here and there. As I grew up I became more and more interested in what my father was doing and slowly I joined him. My brother also joined us as we thought we should continue this family trade.

"In May of 2015, my father passed away. It was devastating for all of us and our lives will never be the same again with him gone. So it has become all the more important for us to continue the work that he has left behind. He taught all of us siblings so many important things in life, such as family values which are so important in this modern day. We will miss him dearly.

"There are about 10-12 full time artisans working with us. The materials we use are mostly residual of extracts like resin, horn, bone, aluminum, etc. We do in house quality control and we make sure that each and every piece that leaves our workshop is in perfect shape.

"I am so happy to be associated with Novica. I hope that Novica customers like and appreciate our products."
